Did you know... how to browse Find Symbol results? - #086

The results of a Find Symbol or a Quick Find Symbol will appear in the Find Symbol results.  Similar to the Find Results window (when searching for text), you can

  • press Ctrl+Alt+F12 to bring up the Find Symbols Results window (View.FindSymbolResults)
  • press F8 (Edit.GoToNextLocation) to navigate to the next result, and Shift+F8 (Edit.GoToPreviousLocation) to navigate to the previous result
  • press F12 (Edit.GoToDefinition) within the Results window to jump to that symbol in the editor
  • bring up the context menu and select Browse Definition to view in the object browser.  This command is Edit.BrowseDefinition (in case you want to bind it to a keyboard shortcut)

Hi Sara,

I've found an issue with Visual Studio 2005.

When trying to do a "Find in Files" I got an error: "No files were found to look in. Find was stopped in progress."

After googling this and I was able to "fix" by pressing Ctrl-Scroll Lock. After that "Find in Files" started to work again.

regards,

josue
